POCKET FOR AUTOMOBILE DOORS.

Application led December 2, 1921.

I 10 all whom` t may concern:

Be it known that I, @Hannes F. WIEN srNeun, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Fremont, in the county of San dusky and State ofOhio, have invented a new and useful Pocket for Automobile Doors, ofwhich the following is a specilication.

This invention relates to a pocket to be mounted on an automobile door,one of the objects being to provide a pocket in the form of a completearticle which can be applied readily to the inner side of a. door.

Another object is to provide a pocket having a novel arrangement ofprongs which can be forced through the inner thickness of cardboard orthe like on the door, thus to hold the pocket securely at its lower endand to render the attachment of the pocket extremely7 simple.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear asthedescription proceeds the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed land claimed, it being understood that, within the scope ofwhat is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the inventionshown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention hasbeen shown.

In said drawings- Figure l is an elevation of the pocket and a portionof the structure to which it is attached.

Figure 2 ure l.

Figure 3 is a section on line 3 3, Figure 2.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference l designates thefabric base of the pocket and 2 designates the pocket structure mountedon the base. These parts can be made in the usual or any preferredmanner and the upper portion of the base l can be att-ached to the doorstructure D by is a section on line 2 2, Fig- Selial No. 519,469.

means of tacks 3 or in any other manner desired.

The sides of the pocket are folded back and sewed so as to providecasings 4c in each of which is mounted a stiff rod Each rod has anoffset portion 6 extending under and past the base l and terminating ina prong 7 parallel with the longitudinal axis of that portion of the rodwithin the casing.

In assembling the pocket the two prongsy 7 are forced through thethickness of cardboard or other material forming the inner wall of thedoor D and are then brought to position flat against the concealedsurface of said thickness so that the lower portion of the pocket willbe held spread taut and pressedagainstthe door. The upper portion of thebase l can then be tacked to the door as has heretofore been explained.

By providing a. structure such as described it will be noted that thepockets can be sold to the trade as complete accessories and can readilybe placed in position without requiring the services of a skilledmechanic.

What is claimed is:

As an article of manufacture, a pocket for attachment to an automobiledoor or the like, said pocket including a fabric base. the sides and topportions of the base being folded and sewed to provide a continuouscasing extending' along the top and sides, a. stiff rod extendingcontinuously through the side and top casings and projecting below thebase, those end portions of the rod below the base being offsetbackwardly to project under and backwardly lbeyond the lower edge of thebase for downward insertion into a door struct-ure, and a pocketstructure secured upon the base.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
